    My Worst Financial Decision So Far

    January 14, 2021

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Dear all. Don’t buy a house with a pool. That is all. No really, the financial cost of owning a pool far outweighs the derived benefit. Seriously, how many times are you going to be swimming? And no child’s laughter is worth having one damnit! OK so I might be feeling ranty tonight cos it’s ticked over midnight and I’ve just finished “fixing” our pool pump. Rather I came home around 9ish to the sound of a staccato of noise you would not believe. I thought it was an odd hour for the neighbours to be using a chainsaw… until I realized the sound was suspiciously…

    What’s Needed To Be Financially Successful?

    January 10, 2021

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes MrsFrugalSamurai and I attended a stunning wedding put on by one of her oldest and dearest friends over the weekend. Massive congrats BENSICCA!!! It was our first Corona-wedding and to be honest with you, I didn’t know what to expect. What to expect? Why nothing but FUN of course! There’s something about weddings which makes everyone happy… I think it’s to do with the live music. Regardless, weddings are also a great time to catch up with people who you haven’t seen in agggges, and this one was no different. As I caught up with a once-close-but-now-distant friend, we waded into a discussion about finances, more…

    Fundamental Principles Of Behavioural Finance

    January 6, 2021

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Heya all! So I went back to my parents place to pick up a few things today. And whilst rummaging through my old room – came across copies of some old, tattered print-outs I had stuck to my wall. Now many male, uni-aged students are not unfamiliar with the humble poster. From old school Jessica Alba prints to corny motivational memes, it’s fair to say that there’s plenty of variety adorning our walls. Except for yours truly, amongst all the above – there were 7 posters… or print-outs rather, which was blu-tacked right above my desk at eye level. In no particular order, they are: I…

    Passive Income Streams Using High Yield Property & Active Shares – The Frugal Samurai

    December 10, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up everyone! The tables are turned today with the focus on yours truly. At the risk of tooting my own horn “toot, toot” I wanted to share with you my answers to a questionnaire sent by Aussie Doc from Aussie Doc Freedom. You might remember her, because I asked her story only recently! Feel free to read about it here. Ah, the good ol collab… But I digress, because today’s post is about me, myself and I, three of my favourite people. If you want to read the original post, or check out some of Aussie Doc’s other works – you can do so here. The…

    Is it Dangerous To Be In Equities (Now)?

    November 23, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Today’s post is an expansion to a brilliant question from one of the social media groups that I subscribe to. Is it Dangerous To Be In Equities? To paraphrase, the original poster queries the majority of people in the FIRE community who have an asset allocation consisting of 100% in equities, a majority of which sits in index funds (ETFs). It seems like the narrative is “Buy equities, passively, at any price, indefinitely, and hold virtually no other assets, it’s all good coz you can’t beat the market, oh and lowest fees possible”. Occasionally with “use margin or other leverage to speed it up”. With equity…
